The Surveillance Project and Presidential Signatures

The Surveillance Project, started by the Heritage Foundation, is working to bring to light issues of power abuse, corruption, and inefficiency in the federal government. In March, it made headlines by tackling the Biden Autopen scandal, which alleges that many official documents signed during the Biden presidency have identical signatures. The only exception noted is the announcement of Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race.

This situation prompts a lot of questions about the authenticity of these signatures. Who’s really behind these documents? Did Biden authorize these signatures? Did he even know they were being signed? Or was it someone acting in his place?

But an even bigger question has emerged: Are the autopen signatures related to Hunter Biden, Anthony Forsey, Mark Milley, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, and other Biden family members?

Former President Trump has firmly stated that he views these signatures as invalid. Yet, the Department of Justice has not yet taken any action.

Things might be changing, though.

On May 13, Ed Martin, the newly appointed U.S. pardon lawyer, revealed that the DOJ is examining these pardons, especially those granted shortly before Trump took office. He referred to them as “unprecedented,” implying that they might face legal challenges.

During a recent episode of “Blaze News: The Mandate,” host Jill Savage discussed with Mike Howell, the president of the Surveillance Project, about how the Trump DOJ could potentially reverse Biden’s autopen pardons.

Howell mentioned that Martin’s position is significant, emphasizing the importance of moving forward with the investigation.

Moreover, Martin has widened the scope of his inquiry into these pardons. He questions whether they were signed by the autopen without Biden’s awareness or consent. Howell pointed out that there are legal implications surrounding the use of an autopen.

Martin also poses deeper inquiries, like whether there was any malicious intent behind the issuing of these pardons and if they exceed presidential pardon powers.

He raises pressing questions: Are these pardons legitimate at all? Were they designed fraudulently? Did the autopen’s use render their execution fraudulent? There appear to be numerous issues with these pardons.

Matthew Peterson, an editor at Blaze News, remarked that this aligns perfectly with what many supporters of Trump have been demanding. Ever since Trump’s inauguration, people have been asking, “When will anyone face the consequences for their actions?”

So, what comes next? Howell believes that testing the legitimacy of these pardons requires submitting one of the individuals involved. Given the existing evidence of their alleged crimes, this should not be too challenging.

“Naturally, those being prosecuted will likely assert they have valid pardons. This is the way to scrutinize these pardons,” Howell concluded.
